The fact that water plays a crucial life-support role has long been taken for granted and the mounting global water crisis can only be effectively addressed through the sustainable governance of available surface and groundwater resources.
UNESCO's Director of the Division of Water Sciences and Secretary of the Intergovernmental Hydrological Program Abou Amani made the statement during the opening ceremony of the 13th governing board meeting of UNESCO’s Regional Center on Urban Water Management for West and Central Asia on Feb. 23 in Tehran, the Energy Ministry’s news portal reported.
“If governance of water sources is based on climate change adaptation and indigenous knowledge, it will help achieve water security,” he added.
